17. Change is the Only Constant: Are the 30s the Best Years?

I recently read that a woman’s prime years are supposedly between 30 and 39. I’m 33, so I can’t fully attest to this belief yet, but it's made me take a stroll down memory lane to reflect on my 20s vs. 30s (thus far). I believe that every decade has its pros and cons, but I like to think that life only continues to get better with age. In this episode, I discuss the highs and lows of my 20s and how I’ve changed in my 30s (more confident, less insecure, more established in my career, and less concerned with other’s opinions). I also unpack what I consider to be the key word of the 30s: change. I chat about the seasons of life and why it’s okay that everyone is on their own path and moving at their own pace.Even in these alleged best years, it’s also normal to feel sadness along with elation, fear accompanied with comfort, and loneliness mixed with community. Life’s complicated and change can be wonderful but also challenging. Listen to hear why I think an ice cream sundae is a wonderful (and delicious) metaphor for life too.  As always, if you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, share, and leave a star rating and review.
